When you encounter any problem or bug, please submit it to

you did @emph{as much as possible}. Take a look at this list before you
send e-mail to the address:
@itemize @bullet
@item
Write what you did and what messages were printed on the screen in
detail. Don't paraphrase them. Please describe them as they were.
@item
Explain what you wanted to do. It is very useful to know your purpose
and your wish, and how GRUB didn't satisfy you.
@item
Inform us of the information about your GRUB. What version were you
using? Which were you using the grub shell or the boot images? If using
the grub shell, tell us what operating system was used to run it. And,
if you ran @command{configure} with some options when building GRUB, it
would be a good thing to let us know how to build it.
@item
The information on your hardware is also essential. These are especially
important: the geometries and the partition tables of your hard disk
drives and your BIOS.
@item
Write down anything that you think might be related. If you are not sure
whether to state a fact or leave it out, state it! Reporting too many
things is quite better than omitting an important thing.
